Washington Nationals

Colorado Rockies Insights

• Jake McCarthy – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
  Extreme groundball hitters like Jake McCarthy usually hit worse against extreme groundball pitchers like Andrew Alvarez.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• Colorado Rockies – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Colorado Rockies’ bullpen projects as the 5th-worst out of all the teams in MLB.
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.

Washington Nationals Insights

• Andrew Alvarez – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)
  Given that groundball pitchers struggle the most against flyball hitters, Andrew Alvarez (48.7% GB% via the leading projection system, THE BAT) will be a bit disadvantaged in today’s game with 2 FB hitters in Colorado’s projected lineup.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• Dylan Crews – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
  In the last week’s worth of games, Dylan Crews’s Barrel% has experienced a negative regression, plummeting from his seasonal rate of 9.9% down to 0%.
  Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
• Brady House – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-185)
  Brady House has a 92nd percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (36%) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them towards baseball’s 10th-shallowest RF fences in today’s game.
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
